Retardex? it must be for women.

Kinda like the Snuggies Pull-ups advert featuring Woody

they KNOW it sounds awful, which is why they've split the word and made the DEX a larger font and on a new line. why why why the name though? i think the ad agency probably did what it could with a brand name some twat hiring them insisted on.

It was on as I opened this thread.

 

[King_of_Uranus]

crazy stuff

 

[pabloback]

should have called it stinkgobex

 

[OzoneRed]

Surely, someone is going to come up with a joke like "This was made for my ex, s/he's the world's biggest retard".

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

Are their condoms called Fucktardex?










(This one goes out to the Lit old-timers)

 

[_prudence_]

The Horlicks ads make me smile - "Horlicks, the natural choice when you want to relax before going to sleep"

Whilst we're on the subject, how annoying are the new Halifax ads? Especially the ISA ISA baby one. She's probably a really nice woman but that ad makes me want to bitchslap her.

 

[butters]

Butt Drugs! hahahahaha

Dey vere Svedish and dinnot see the coinections.

 

[Flowerbox]

I think I must know a hundred people who are using this regularly.

 

[pointless]

it probably came out before retard became a universal insult. i mean, as a word in and of itself, retard doesn't really mean anything all that offensive. it's just that that's how some people choose to use it.

see?

but you explained in a manner that seemed to imply i was unaware of the meaning of the word retard. what's got up your arse?

 

[pointless]

nothing. i'm just wasting time. you're the one that just got all bitchy for no damned reason. don't try to put it on me.

 

[torchthebitch]

Do you really give enough of a fuck about Adam and Jane to vote?

how on earth is that bitchy? note the use of the despised emoticons for 'this ain't a bitchy comment' illustration purposes. le sigh
